Milind's 4 days trip to Old Delhi

It was well organised trip on short duration. You set our expectations right and delivered on what you promised. Given the huge number of devotees and restrictions in place a lot of things did not work the way we wanted but such things can't be blamed on agent. The drivers were very helpful and shared right short of information, you have been extremely helpful in making last minute changes as requested. I could not have asked for more. Thank you for making our maha kumbh yatra possible. It was great experience to visit Kashi, prayagraj and Ayodhya in one go. Ayodhya Darshan and visiting maha kumbh sangam

Sri's 3 days trip to Old Delhi

I recently had the pleasure of traveling through the Golden Triangle of India, thanks to the exceptional service provided by Travel Triangle and Aapka TripWala. From start to finish, they ensured a seamless and enjoyable experience with their impeccable planning and friendly service. The journey took me through the vibrant and historical cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, each offering its own unique charm and historical significance. In Delhi, I marveled at the blend of ancient monuments like the Qutub Minar, Red Fort and modern life bustling through the city. Agra stole my heart with the ethereal beauty of the Taj Mahal. Jaipur, the Pink City, captivated me with its majestic Amber Fort and the vibrant Hawa Mahal. The hospitality and rich cultural heritage in each city made this trip unforgettable. The Golden Triangle tour, perfectly curated by Travel Triangle and Aapka Trip Wala, is a must for anyone seeking to experience the essence of India's diverse and vibrant culture in a short span of time. I highly recommend their services for a memorable and hassle-free travel experience. There are countless highlights from my trip, but two experiences stand out in particular: 1. The ethereal beauty of the Taj Mahal in Agra: Witnessing this iconic symbol of love and devotion up close was truly awe-inspiring. Its stunning white marble façade, intricate carvings, and serene gardens create an atmosphere of timeless elegance that left a lasting impression on me. 2. The vibrant cultural experience at Chowki Dhani resort in Jaipur: This resort perfectly encapsulates the elegance and royalty of the Pink City. From the traditional Rajasthani architecture to the authentic folk performances and delectable cuisine, every moment at Chowki Dhani was a celebration of Jaipur’s rich heritage and regal charm.

Prosenjit's 5 days trip to Old Delhi

The Hotel (Sita International) which was booked for us in Delhi was not at all Good., simply pathetic. So, it's strictly recommended not to visit or book any room at Sita International in New Delhi (Near to New Delhi Railway Station). The hotel was booked by the travel agency & the name of the Hotel is Sita International. But there is no sign of international standards & quality of that Hotel. They're using that "International" tag only for business that's it. The "deluxe room" they provided to us (Me, my wife & my 5-year-old son) is a remarkably simple ordinary one- or two-star category hotel room. The blanket they provided to us was torn. For reference please I've attached pictures of that blanket. The button under the shower in the bathroom was broken. Now after sharing all the information in reception, the hotel people behaved very casually & asked me to adjust. I informed my travel agent (Back to Holiday) regarding the issue, and my travel agent confirmed that in the evening they'll change my room but after returning from sightseeing the hotel said, "Room change is not possible because all rooms are booked". So, this is the situation I faced during my travel on the very first day (14.10.24). And in the morning The Hotel owner talked with me on the phone & told me that I made a quite simple issue into a big issue. So after paying advance to the travel agency, I faced this kind of situation. Last but not least, in the morning I found RAT in that room. And they're called it's an International Hotel. So strictly & Strictly recommended before booking anything think twice. Yes, after that remaining two Hotels are good (Gurukripa @ Mathura and Royal View @ Jaipur) & as per the standard, especially the last one (Royal View at Jaipur- 3-star category Hotel) .... Now regarding Cab. The Cab driver has a huge setting with all the guides in each & everywhere (Agra, Mathura, Jaipur) .... Directly & indirectly, he forced us to hire a guide so that he could earn a commission. And you'll not deny it because, in the middle of the tour, it's very risky & not at all safe. The driver has a very good local connection & I was traveling with my wife & my 5-year-old son. If I refused to hire a guide, he could have done anything locally because of his local connection & we're very new in that area. When at Jaipur we told that driver we don't require any guide he told me during travel maybe we'll face problems. Now in that situation what do you do? So as per his recommendation, we're forced to hire a guide as per the driver's choice, and we paid him Rs. 800 as decided by the driver (The normal government guide charge is Rs. 400).... So, if you'll travel along with your family (Like wife & son) you've got to accept all the terms & conditions of the driver because he has a strong local connection & you don't have that connection. Not only that, the driver will take you to some local shops where he has a good connection & if you buy something from that shop the driver will get a commission. Even on this trip, our driver took some local shops in Agra where he has a commission-based connection. Otherwise, he was not interested in taking you to some local shops where he'd not get any commission.

Rohit's 5 days trip to Old Delhi

**Trip Review: A Wonderful Delhi Experience Arranged by Our Travel Agent** My recent trip to Delhi, arranged by a travel agent, was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, every detail was meticulously planned, making the trip smooth and enjoyable. The itinerary was well-organized, covering both the iconic landmarks and hidden gems of Delhi. Our visit started with the stunning Red Fort, where the grandeur of Mughal architecture left us in awe. This was followed by a trip to Jama Masjid, one of India's largest mosques, offering a breathtaking view of Old Delhi. We also visited India Gate, a significant war memorial, and Rashtrapati Bhavan, giving us a glimpse of Delhi's colonial heritage. Our agent, Nidhi Chaudhary was knowledgeable and friendly, explaining of each site. The accommodations chosen for us were top-notch. We stayed at a centrally located hotel, which was clean, comfortable, and provided excellent service. Our agent also made sure that we had safe and reliable Special thanks to Nidhi Chaudhary @ back2holidays who has exceptional support and arranged all trip. Great Work Nidhi ..
